Body
I. SUMMARY
The City currently owns a property (APN: 7337-005-927) (the "Property"). The Property is a 4.61-acre parcel in the Carson Civic Center complex adjacent to the Carson Event Center that primarily serves as a surface parking lot for the Civic Center but also serves as parking for the adjacent office building, the hotel and the drive-through restaurant. The Property is located south of Desford Street, west of Civic Center Drive, north of Carson Street, and east of Civic Plaza Drive.
The Surplus Land Act ("Act") governs the disposition of land owned by a city or local agency, which is sought to be sold or leased when it is no longer necessary for the city's/agency's use. AB 1486 took effect January 1, 2021, and requires that prior to any sale or lease of property owned by a local agency, the agency must formally declare land as either "surplus land" or "exempt surplus land" as supported by written findings pursuant to a Resolution approved by the local agency at a regular public meeting of the agency.
The Act Guidelines were issued by the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") which were initially issued in April 2021 but have recently been updated as of February 23, 2024 ("Regulations").
Staff is recommending the adoption of Resolution 24-053 to declare the Property as non-exempt surplus land and proceed with the disposition process under the Act.
